Comedy Megaton

Via Brooklyn Vegan, the [greatest comedy show of the year](http://www.summerstage.org/index1.aspx?BD=19254):

> NYC’s premier venue for alternative comedy brings a night of stand-up & sketches to SummerStage. Hosted by Paul Scheer (VH’s 1 Best Week Ever) and Rob Heubel (Curb Your Enthusiasm) with scheduled performers Aziz Ansari (Comedy Central’s Premium Blend), Todd Barry, Jackie Clarke, David Cross (Arrested Development), Demitri Martin (The Daily Show), and Amy Pohler (Saturday Night Live).

This is about a week before [Del Close](http://www.delclosemarathon.com/dcm8/index.php?option=home). And if [the line](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/27693926/) was bad last year, it’s going to be 10x worse this year.

Note to self: Leave work early.

Eugene Mirman Protest

Homemade Signs

And There He Is!

Scanlan Gets A Sign

Even At An Event Full Of Hate, There's Room For Love

Eugene Mirman Protests Himself

That's Not Safe!

Tonight was the Eugene Mirman protest, put together by [Eugene Mirman](http://www.eugenemirman.com). While the actual handing-out of signs didn’t start until maybe 3 minutes before the event was supposed to start, it was quite comical and silly and confusing to those not in on it.

For all of my pictures, just check my photoset: [Eugene Mirman Protest @ Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/remydwd/sets/72057594129662059/)

Buy Eugene’s new CD/DVD, **En Garde, Society!** [from Subpop](http://www.subpop.com/scripts/main/catalog.php?cat=true&display_type=merch&title=En+Garde%2C+Society%21&PHPSESSID=af80c323a3aa4bed530b6a634e4045a2). It’s only $12, and comes with a nifty DVD! Alternately, [buy it off iTunes](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=151534007&s=143441) for $9.99 and lose out on the DVD.

Not Quite Drowned Alive

Not Really Drowned Alive

Onlookers

Watching The Action

Today, we decided to take in the performance art spectacle du jour – David Blaine’s desire to stay submerged outside Lincoln Center for seven days. Who can resist when [his hands look corpse-like](http://www.deeperblue.net/article.php/726/23/1)?

Being at the scene is about what you would expect – it’s a large number of people standing around this large sphere of water, not really sure how they should react or respond. There was no line to go up and press palms against the glass when we were there, which is probably for the best. All in all, a decent way to blow fifteen minutes, gawking and wondering if anyone actually thinks it’s entertaining in the traditional sense of the word.

Coming up on Monday, another lovely event: [the protest against Eugene Mirman](http://eugenemirman.com/appearances.html). Expect a picture flood from that.
